The GSMA Sustainability Assessment Framework 2021

The GSMA has developed a Sustainability Assessment Framework to better understand the landscape of operator efforts in social and environmental sustainability. The Framework, designed in collaboration with Yale University, is intended to examine sustainability efforts across the mobile industry in a comparable and leading-edge way.

The Framework is constructed to assess not only the performance of the MNO operations themselves but also the interaction of the company with society and the leadership position adopted on these global challenges and opportunities.

This paper presents the Framework structure and the results from the fourth assessment of the 25 companies represented on the GSMA Board.
